Oakland Athletics Baseball Tickets

No visit to Oakland, Calif., would be complete without a trip to the A's game. Picking up Oakland Athletics tickets to see a game in person is sure to be a fun outing for the whole family. Not only will guests enjoy the fresh west coast air, but they'll also relish in seeing one of the oldest teams play.

The Oakland A's, or simply the A's as they're known by their fans, have been a professional baseball team since 1901. The franchise originated in Philadelphia and after more than 50 years on the east coast moved westward, making a 12-year stopover in Kansas City before settling in Oakland in 1968.

The clubhouse is a part of the Western Division of the American League. Another nickname older A's enthusiasts might call the franchise is the White Elephants or the Elephants. This name stems from a controversial statement made by New York Giants' manager John McGraw in 1902. His remarks were meant to be a diss to the team, but they instead took the name and ran with it.

Despite where they were based or what their team title was, this baseball lineup has seen plenty of play. Throughout the team's long history, the clubhouse has earned copious division titles and pennants as well several World Series championship triumphs. Past team rosters are padded with Baseball Hall of Famers including Rickey Henderson, Don Sutton and Rollie Fingers.

As is customary in the MLB arena, rivalries run amuck. The A's primary opponents are the Los Angeles Angels due to the established acrimony between the northern and southern halves of the state. Unlike most states and cities that have dueling teams, it's perfectly acceptable to be a fan of the A's and their oppositional San Francisco Giants brethren. Other notable contentions are with the Minnesota Twins and the Philadelphia Phillies, for the obvious reasons.

Regardless if they are home or away, the Oakland Athletics draw crowds of fans that love the team's level of play! Fans declare that an A's game is a great baseball experience for the whole family!
